Immediate past president, President Goodluck Jonathan, paid a secret visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Thursday, August 6.
According to Punch Newspapers, the clandestine meeting was held inside the President’s official residence.
This would be the first time Jonathan would be visiting the Presidential Villa since he left in the morning of May 29 for the Eagles Square where Buhari took his oath of office and allegiance as his (Jonathan’s) successor.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, confirmed Jonathan’s visit and meeting with Buhari to our correspondent on Sunday.
Adesina, however, said he was not privy to the subject of discussion at the meeting.
A top Presidency official also confided in our correspondent that the meeting was strictly between Buhari and Jonathan.
He said the visit was made discreetly to the extent that photographs were not taken.
“Nobody was with them. I am sure they don’t want the visit to be an item in the media. That probably explains why the former president visited at night and went straight to the residence. They met for a few minutes in the President’s residence,” the official said
